English

There is so much to be considered, so many variables, different experiences, and perspectives that a single post and a single voice on the subject would never give the correct dimension of this topic.

With that in mind, I’ve decided to start this series of guest posts on the translation profession.

The initial post will be mine, but the following ones will be from fellow translators who will share with us what it was like to start in the translation profession, what they think is important to be considered, the hits and misses, what are the current trends, and, especially, what advice they would give to newbies.
